ampliarão

Ampliarão is the Portuguese verb form corresponding to the third-person plural of the verb ampliar in the futuro do indicativo. It translates to “they will enlarge” or “they will widen” and is used to indicate a future action by multiple subjects.

Origin and form: ampliar comes from Latin ampliare, meaning to make larger or to enlarge. The form ampliarão is produced by taking the infinitive ampliar and adding the standard -ão ending for the third-person plural in the futuro do indicativo of -ar verbs.

Usage: This form denotes a planned or predicted future action by a plural subject, and is common in formal writing as well as everyday speech. It contrasts with nearer or more immediate future constructions such as vão ampliar or irão ampliar when implying near-term plans or immediacy. Examples: “As autoridades ampliarão a estrada no próximo ano.” “Empresas do setor de energia ampliarão sua capacidade até 2026.” The choice between ampliarán and alternative future forms can convey nuance about planning horizons or stylistic preference.
